Now you can buy a jar of Glenn Beck’s ‘urine’ with an Obama figurine inside

I heard part of the show where they put "Obama in Pee Pee" on ebay and have to admit it was pretty funny. It's a parody of the Piss Christ piece.
And I admire Beck's stance on the first amendment during the segment. He very plainly said he does not agree with the artist that painted Obama in a
Christ pose - but the guy has the right to do it. We do not have a right to never be offended.

Ebay did pull the jar auction after bids had topped $11,000 - all going to charity.

He is trying to mock far-left-wing art that considers peeing and defecating on things to be "art". But this will backfire because peeing on the
President is just about one of the most unconservative and unpatriotic things you can do. Had this been done to GWB, he'd be so outraged at the
"decline of morals in society" he couldnt catch his breathe.

I'm just glad that this kind of odd stuff is allowed&protected. Try it in Iran with a Amiblabla-bobblehead.
You'd be a national spectacle -involving a village-square, some rope, and a large crane- in no-time short.

Because left wing and right wing ideology exists. A communist is much different than a capitalist. Both parties in the US are capitalist, and exist to
exploit people. There is only a right wing and center right in this country.

I don't get how people equate saying there isn't a two party system in the USA to saying there is no difference between left and right ideologies.
That is two totally different concepts.

Both ideologies have as their goal totalitarianism, so yeah, they are the same. Far left, far right...

With all due respect, this stems from the artwork depicting Obama as a crucified Jesus figure. It is not so much against the office of president as
it is a protest of the deification of Obama.

Except, the painting is not about deification. The art is meant to show that Obama has been rhetorically crucified by the right. Which may or may
not be true, but in no way is the painting meant to be religious in nature.

I fail to see why there should be ány commotion about this.

Well, if Beck wasn't such an idiot and this shtick of his was actually funny, you'd probably see a different reaction. Let's just say - leave the
comedy to the Stewarts and Colberts of the world. What is it about right-wingers that makes them so unfunny?

Oh please! The name of the painting could be called "The Passion Of The Obama"!!!

Are you honestly going to sit there and say that a depiction of a crucifiction has no religious overtones???

Painted on a 30-by-54 canvas, the depiction "was inspired by watching conflicting reports on the same issues on the different cable newscasts and
the effect on their viewers." D'Antuno said. "Peoples' perceptions of the issues seem to get distorted though their political lenses. People have
had drastically different interpretations from this painting. What you see in this painting will be a reflection of your own partisan view and that is
precisely the point."
